I *had* ctr's.

jdm/edm/whatever lights shine to the left if you're sitting in the car. That is because the road signs and whatnot are on the left side of the road, since thats where they're driving.

simply put: our's shine like /_/_/ while theirs shine like \_\_\

its not horrible, but it does effect things. I noticed I lit up reflectors alot more, be it on the cars I was behind in traffic, or on the lane reflectors on the opposite side of the highway at night (they reflect red). Every now and then, I'd get highbeamed, but not that much. if I was behind someone too close, the light would be going right into their cabin. it'd piss people off sometimes, so I got into the habit of stopping 10ft from the car in front of me. (and my lights were angled down as far as they'd go). But that came in handy in the fast lane on the highway.

but asiandoood is totally right about the blanket of light. I felt the ctrs did a better job of lighting the road than my oem lights (which do as well as the aftermarket lights I have right now).
I could not find any cheap OEM lights. Why should I have stuck with OEM lights?

Why don't you have CTR's anymore?

Am I going to have to angle mine?

I am worried about the light being too scattered.

You should have told me this stuff before I bought them I might have bought the SiR's, those still have the scatter shield and they are cheaper.
